The Senator points out we’re set to spend $3.6 trillion this year and run a deficit of about $1.2 trillion. Much of that — perhaps even most of that — is due to members of Congress who use our money to secure their own job security. It’s long past time we put people in office who treat our money like the precious commodity is it.

Taxpayers Connected:

Despite our massive federal debt and the annual budget deficits that increase it every year, Washington politicians continue their out-of-control spending practices. Ending Spending exists because the federal budget process is broken and it is now up to taxpayers across America to demand solutions. Our mission is non-partisan and straight forward: to make sense of the federal budget, to end wasteful government spending, and to expose elected officials who say one thing and do another. If you believe that the government spends too much on things we can't afford and don't need — and that our politicians should work together to cut spending and reduce the federal debt — then join the Ending Spending community. We've had enough talk; it's time for real solutions!
